House Sitting Ellison

“As a first time user of Rover, I was quite nervous leaving our two small dogs. Kirstin was great with them and even came back immediately to assist further when the airline left us stranded over night and out of province. Kirstin relieved a large amount of stress during an already stressful time. The dogs were healthy and happy and the house was left clean! I was also very thankful for the regular pictures showing them in their regular routine. We are very thankful to connect with Kirstin!”

About: Hello! I'm a lifelong animal-lover and pet-owner who has worked extensively with the Okanagan Humane Society, fostering many pets with a variety of temperments and personalities. Because of this experience, I'm very comfortable taking care of animals with unique needs and administering medication as needed. I currently do not have any pets of my own, allowing me time to dedicate to your furry family members! I have 15 years of experience housesitting/dogsitting and have received glowing reviews. I'm very flexible and attentive, wanting your pet's routine to stay as consistent as possible while you're away! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I’m happy to schedule a meet and greet to ensure I’m the right fit for your dog’s needs! I work a 9-5 job from home, so I can be available for check-ins or short walks over my lunch hour. I have open availability evenings and weekends. I’m very flexible, please reach out if you have any questions! Pets are welcome to stay with me in my pet friendly apartment or I’m happy to work from your home and keep your pet company if you prefer. Because I work from home, I’m able to give your pet lots of attention and care while you’re away.

About: I am a university student at UBCO living at home with my family and 2 dogs. This gives me the unique flexibility to stay overnight and care for pets on short notice. I have had dogs my whole life, and currently have a senior rescue, and a puppy at home. This gives me the experience I need to care for all kinds of dogs, well trained, not yet trained, puppies, seniors, rescues, purebreds etc. I have been dog and cat sitting for family friends several times a year for over 3 years since high school. I am a very responsible person, extremely reliable, and communicate well. I love the outdoors and going for walks, as well as lazy days at home. I have a very flexible school and work schedule. I am a student at UBCO and have several 3-4 hour gaps in my day which I can come home and spend time with the pets. I am done my classes around dinner time, and can come straight home for the evening. On the weekends, I am a server at a restaurant in town and generally only work 4-6 hour shifts. This means I am around for the majority of the day. I have been dog walking for many years as I have had dogs my whole life. With clients, I try and keep the pet’s routine as similar as possible to their owner’s. I like to be around as much as possible and keep the pets as comfortable as they can be while their owner is away.

“Jocelynn did a great job! It was the first time I couldn’t take my senior dog with me and I was a bit anxious. But Jocelynn kept me updated letting me know that Hudsin was just fine and being her goody self. The house was exactly how I left it when I got home and I could tell Hudsin was well taken care of!”

“Made our life- left our house better than it started and pampered the pups like they were her own. Worked with our stressful work situations like it was nothing and was a pleasure to keep in contact with! Thank you for everything, Trinity!”

“This is the second time that Miranda took care of my dogs. She is very responsible and she loves taking care of dogs. My dogs are happy with her. Whenever she sent some pictures, I could tell that my dogs were very happy. Thank you Miranda!”

“Taylor was fabulous with our 2 dogs! At the last minute our girl went into heat and Taylor was so great, she handled it so well! I would recommend her anytime!!!”

About: I have a 6 year old pup. Been pet sitting for over 8 years now. I just love doggos and wanna make some extra cash :) I work Tuesday, Thursday afternoons and all day Saturdays so that makes me available for Rover on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I walk my dog everyday so I can bring him along if your dog likes the company :) I treat dogs with patience and kindness. I like to go on long walks on nice days and take pups to the dog park. Cuddly and playful dogs are my fav :)

“McKenna is lovely, she left our place exactly the way it was when she arrived and more importantly our cat Lucy seemed relaxed and well taken care of when we got home. I also love that she sent us pictures every day!”

“Erik is fantastic, he took the best care of our home and boy, and we could not be more pleased with his service. Everything in our home was gleaming, and our boy was calm and satisfied when we arrived home which told us so much. Thank you Erik for everything. We cannot recommend you highly enough to the entire Rover community. Truly deserving of every single star in this 5 star review.”

About: I’m an experienced and dedicated animal lover who has cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and reptiles. I treat every pet as if they were my own - providing them with love, attention, and the same level of care I’d give a cherished family member. I am available all day on Sundays and Mondays. From Tuesday to Saturday please contact for availability or submit a request - I try to be flexible to fit your scheduling needs! On our walks I will take your dog on a hike, a less intense nature walk, or even stay more in urban areas depending on yours and your pets preference if known. At your home I can take your pet for bathroom breaks, clean up messes, provide feedings and water, scoop cat litter and poop outside and play with them to keep the active and stimulated!

“Lindsey was absolutely fantastic. I felt so at ease leaving Buddy (my 8 year old cocker spaniel) with her. She was super organised and her communication was excellent. She sent updates and pictures at the end of everyday and put Buddy’s needs first. Our home was super clean and tidy when we arrived home. I would 100% have Lindsey to sit Buddy in the future and would not hesitate to recommend her to take care of your pets and home.”

About: We had a beautiful Golden Retriever 2013-2025 who went everywhere with me and was never left alone. I loved being with him, caring for him and other friends pets, walking, brushing, veterinary drop offs and collections as well as caring for elderly dogs too. I love all dogs. Will be with the dogs all day in my home and we have beautiful trails right at our doorstep for quick walks or longer hikes. Happy to be slower if dogs are older or small or longer if they have lots of energy. I work from home so pets would never be left alone, I have set up my work to fit in with caring for our own pet as a priority. Have looked after our own dog and walked 4-5 times daily with shorter potty breaks and longer excercise trips for 12 years. I have no fenced yard but have a provincial park and walking trails directly at my door so walking is never a problem. My own golden retriever will go outside for a variety of mini walks and a longer walk daily or we can take the car to other parks if requested.

About: I have a lifetime of experience working with all sorts of dogs, including puppies, elderly dogs and dogs requiring special care and/or medications. I am also experienced in dog training and grooming. I’m currently a student meaning I spend most of my time at home. Doing online classes can make it difficult to have typical a 9-5 job, being one of the reasons I started dog walking and sitting. As well as it being a passion I’ve had since a very early age. I have a home with a fenced in open space for your fur-babies. As well as many hiking trails located nearby for your pups to explore! Potty breaks every two hours as well as 2-4 walks a day.

“Tera was an excellent sitter. From the initial connection to the moment the booking came to an end she was an excellent communicator. It seemed she left our house cleaner than what it was when we left. Our dogs were so content when we got home, it was like we hadn't left at all. The dogs seemed to miss her the first evening we were home, they watched for her arrival, like she was now a part of our family! We have a senior dog that had been fussy at meal times, we left as many food choices for Tera in hopes that she had success with feeding. Tera found a solution on her first meal time, our doggo needed to have a raised food bowl, likely due to sore joints in the shoulders or neck! She found a way to raise his bowl for each meal, and he was an excellent eater from then on. We now are in search of a raised bowl for a permanent solution. Tera's experience clearly came through in this situation, and we are so very grateful to her. We highly recommend and will hire Tera again in the future.”

About: I am an active & very mobile lady who can offer various types of walks from leisurely to high energy, rain or shine. On leash is preferred but for well trained dogs I will consider off leash. Pick up and drop offs are available for one hour walks. Your dog/s should be dog friendly but if not then I will work with you so your fur baby can have the best experience possible. I can administer medication. As a responsible, skilled, current small dog owner, and former two large dogs & cat mom, your animals will be treated with lots of compassion and love. I will text or email pictures, videos and memos to keep you updated every step of the way. House sitting available.

“Eva was fantastic! She took such good care of our home, our dog and two cats while we were away. We have an Australian Shepherd that needs lots of exercise and Eva took her on so many great hikes! She was sure to send us lots of picture updates of all the animals which we appreciated. They all looked so happy and content with her. The house was clean and my flower pots in great condition when we got home . We felt our animals were in very good hands and will definitely be booking her again when the time comes. If you need a responsible, caring and active pet sitter, Eva is your lady!”
